Analysts IFD "RESMI" is now paying attention to the following investors'
significant events in the markets, and in particular to review the rating of
"Kazakhstan Temir Joly", which led to a decrease in quotations on its
Eurobonds. Yesterday it became known that the credit rating agency
Moody's Investors Service, plans to review the issuer rating of "Baa3"
Kazakhstan's national railway company "Kazakhstan Temir Joly" in the
direction of a possible downgrade. Moody's has placed on review and rating
of "Baa3" senior unsecured Eurobond issue of $ 800 million (issuer -
Kazakhstan Temir Zholy Finance BV). Moody's concerned about the credit
performance of KTZ, which could potentially deviate from the rating of the
recommendations in the medium term. Also, the agency notes that the group
has a debt of $ 450 million, which is due for payment in 2011. Moody's
analysts believe that the plans KTZ attract government subsidies for its
investment program, negotiating with banks, the implementation of
investment plans would increase the capital by 2011. The same time
Moody's has placed on review for possible reduction of the corporate rating
of the subsidiary KTZ - JSC "KazTemirtrans" "Ba1". News of a possible
lowering of ratings of "Kazakhstan Temir Joly" negative impact on the
quotation of its Eurobonds. For example, Eurobonds for $ 350 million
maturing in 2016 fell by 81 basis points and their value amounted to 97.53 of
face value, eurobonds on $ 450 million maturing in 2011 fell by 23 basis
points and amounted to 99.51. Analysts IFD "RESMI" believe that a drop in
prices, in the first place, due to a reduction of interest from foreign investors,
